Best 1/5 scale Spitfire
Hello all, I am looking for a 1/5 scale spitfire I would prefer it to be a Mark I - Mark V I dont really care if it is a Kit or ARF
I am more interested in scale accuracy and the 1/5 scale size. The only one I have seen that size is a PICA kit and I cannot
find one for sale. Everyone else has either larger or smaller scale size. Anyone have any ideas

RE: Best 1/5 scale Spitfire
How about this one: http://www.dbsportandscale.com/spitfire.htm
If scale accuracy is what you're after then the Pica kit will not satisfy. Even the D&B kit above has some scale issues but it's certainly much better than the Pica, plus it's an early Mark Spit to boot.
Another option may be the glass semi kit from www.vicrc.com. Vic has the early cowl available which allows you to build a Mk.I through Mk.V from the Taylor design.
